Garmin has introduced a new "Weather Radar Operations eLearning Course" for pilots to enhance their interpretation and analysis of onboard weather radar data.
The course teaches basic and intermediate radar operations, interpretation, tilt and range management, and how to combine radar data with Nexrad for better situational awareness and decision-making.
The content is universally applicable to any radar system, not just Garmin-specific equipment.
Pilots can access the course as a 180-day online subscription for $149 through the flyGarmin website.
